You sat down in your hospital gown
While the sickly fluorescents all flickered
Expectantly, ready for action
Knee-deep in sleep
Every night of the week
Is no way to turn grey
Every day is a waste in this place
Have we been here before
Just an hour ago
Should we keep better score
Taking notes as we go
So as not to mistake our missteps
For the worst of our crimes
It's astonishing what one forgets
Waiting on better times
So you picked up this magical book
As if it held the secrets you needed
To feel you'd succeeded at something
But all it contains
Are some partial refrains
And remains of the day
And you're wasting away in this place
Have we been here before
Just an hour ago
Should we keep better score
Making notes as we go
So as not to mistake our missteps
For the worst of our crimes
It's astonishing what one forgets
Waiting on better times
Tell your mother that you love her
Tell your lover there's no other
Tell the truth to your reflection
And listen to your children
Better times are around the corner
They just happen out of order
So it's patience we become
Breathing life in through our lungs
